Two minutes ago, I decided to clean up the post-Reddit mess on my phone.

I uninstalled RIF, because I use Wefwef now.

I uninstalled kbin, because I use Wefwef now.

Lots of icons disappeared from my launcher. Oops.

In my haste, I failed to notice that kbin is not an app, but actually a browser app like Wefwef. So I did not uninstall kbin - in fact I uninstalled Firefox! And with that, I lost all my launcher shortcuts, all my open tabs, and all my browser apps ( including kbin but also including Wefwef).

I really don’t know all the stuff I lost that way but hey, if. I don’t miss it then maybe that’s okay?

      wefwef.app is a kind of Apollo clone but for Lemmy instead. It’s also PWA only as far as I know so not a real app but a website that you can install as an “app”.

        The name is so off-putting.

        edit:
        I’m one of the more whimsical dudes I know and I don’t mind disagreement so I’m pretty open to whatever - but please tell me why jubjub.wingdang is something you want to see several hundred times a day.

        Am I missing something? Does wefwef actually mean something, or is it just typical techbrand nonsense? We have gone PAST Idiocracy at this point.

        For some background… I’m a grumpy fucker. wefwef can do better. This is an interview about how the brands in Idiocracy were designed.

        I’m sick and tired of bullshit neosyllabic names that a baby would make:

        • Goo-gle
        • Et-sy
        • Zyn-ga
        • Kag-gle
        • Hu-lu
        • Ven-mo
        • Ya-hoo

        I don’t want to “eeh-ohh” or “lee” your goddamn name:

        • Branch.eeo
        • Keen.eeo
        • Card.eeo
        • Cook.eeo
        • Fluent.eeo
        • Parse.lee
        • Visual.lee

        Dropped vowels are equally annoying to me:

        • Flickr
        • Tumblr
        • Grindr
        • Scribd
